Some programming languages manage to absorb change, but withstand progress.

In English every word can be verbed. Would that it were so in our programming languages.

The best book on programming for the layman is "Alice in Wonderland"; but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.

A programming language is low level when its programs require attention to the irrelevant.

A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.
